May 23, 2007 Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park I woke up
early at 5am to try to get to Bentsen-Rio just as they opened at 7am. I was hoping the owls would still be active, but at
7am the day is blazing already! I DID HEAR A FERRUGINOUS
PYGMY-OWL off the path, but hearing counts like seeing to the ABA, so we don't bother the rare birds
too much trying to actually see them. I missed Elf and Screech Owl though. Good sighting: a PECCARY THAT DIDN'T MIND MY PRESENCE AT ALL. I also located a pair of ClayColored Robins (good in itself) and THEIR NEST.
